I found a code that will force users to enable macros to access a document if they don't accept enable macro's this would give them no choice in the matter and it won't allow access to the complete document.
I am not sure what the protocol is for offering advice, since I have never had anything to offer when I started viewing this website...
The "EXPERTS" will have to "REVIEW THE CODE AND APROVE THE USE" for your success... Anyone want to jump in and test and approve please go for it. I don't know how to do that stuff.. YET!!!
Here's the code Force Users Enable Macro's...
-VBA-
Option Explicit
Const WelcomePage = "Macros"
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'Turn off events to prevent unwanted loops
Application.EnableEvents = False
'Evaluate if workbook is saved and emulate default prompts
With ThisWorkbook
If Not .Saved Then
Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to save the changes you made to '" & .Name & "'?", _
vbYesNoCancel + vbExclamation)
Case Is = vbYes
'Call customized save routine
Call CustomSave
Case Is = vbNo
'Do not save
Case Is = vbCancel
'Set up procedure to cancel close
Cancel = True
End Select
End If
'If Cancel was clicked, turn events back on and cancel close,
'otherwise close the workbook without saving further changes
If Not Cancel = True Then
.Saved = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
.Close savechanges:=False
Else
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'Turn off events to prevent unwanted loops
Application.EnableEvents = False
'Call customized save routine and set workbook's saved property to true
'(To cancel regular saving)
Call CustomSave(SaveAsUI)
Cancel = True
'Turn events back on an set saved property to true
Application.EnableEvents = True
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Unhide all worksheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Call ShowAllSheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub CustomSave(Optional SaveAs As Boolean)
Dim ws As Worksheet, aWs As Worksheet, newFname As String
'Turn off screen flashing
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Record active worksheet
Set aWs = ActiveSheet
'Hide all sheets
Call HideAllSheets
'Save workbook directly or prompt for saveas filename
If SaveAs = True Then
newFname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
If Not newFname = "False" Then ThisWorkbook.SaveAs newFname
Else
ThisWorkbook.Save
End If
'Restore file to where user was
Call ShowAllSheets
/>aWs.Activate
'Restore screen updates
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub HideAllSheets()
'Hide all worksheets except the macro welcome page
Dim ws As Worksheet
Worksheets(WelcomePage).Visible = xlSheetVisible
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not ws.Name = WelcomePage Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Next ws
Worksheets(WelcomePage).Activate
End Sub
Private Sub ShowAllSheets()
'Show all worksheets except the macro welcome page
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not ws.Name = WelcomePage Then ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next ws
Worksheets(WelcomePage).Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub
I Just thought it would be nice to finally offer something back through my hours-upon-hours of sufing for answers to my personal questions and picking up future issue resolutions I may need.
Please Any Experts! let me know if this is unacceptable and only the experts can offer solutions.... I will cease...
Good Luck! Wait for Expert to TEST FIRST!!! I Hope it works... You may want to change the green screen to something else... Red/Yellow for warning/caution???
